Challenges related to testing of composite materials at high strain rates using the split Hopkinson bar technique

The design of sample geometries and the measurement of small strains are considered the main challenges when testing composite materials at high strain rates using the split Hopkinson bar technique. The aim of this paper is to assess two types of tensile sample geometries, namely dog-bone and straig...
